Xmas in July, Day 16: Record Books
We skinned up our knees pretty good yesterday on the skateboards (it's 1976, what the Hell are knee pads anyway???), so now we're back inside and looking for something to do. Good thing this Xmas in July we added record books to our wish lists-- and being the horror head that I am, I made a special notation on Monsters Hits (#2) Frankenstein, Dracula, Man Thing, and Werewolf (but of course any cartoon and / or super hero set will work too!) So put on the record, and read along to full color action and adventure! (Sears Christmas Wish Book, 1976)
Hurry! First comment. I got dibs on set #3! I may have to do an eBay search for these.
ReplyDeleteLet us know if you score any, Myk!
Deleteman those are so great! i love the Fred & Barney Circus Fun one. actually i want all of them
ReplyDeleteI'm in need of the Casper, I think
DeleteI want all of them too, but I'll bet that Star Trek album has all the very best groovy sound effects.
ReplyDeleteSurely these are available online somewhere?
I'm sure they're all on YouTube... that's where I Found all the GI Joe adventure record books I had as a kid
Delete"Man Thing"??
ReplyDeleteMarvel's answer to Swamp Thing
DeleteI had the Dracula book. The Marvel books where usually reprints of single issues comics with the addition of the audio recording. I'm pretty sure I had the actual record book years before I actually collected ToD.
ReplyDeleteGreat find Karswell.
ReplyDeleteI can't recall owning any of these in my childhood, though I might have, childhood memories get hazy and fuzzy after so many decades.
"You can read along in your book. You'll know when it is time to turn the page when you hear the chimes like this... (CHIMES) LET'S BEGIN NOW!"
ReplyDeleteGod this was my childhood!
My childhood too, Chris! :)
ReplyDeleteI still have the Dracula record Brian!
